Mixing the Speeches.

In the Grant Greeley campaign of 1877
grave complaint was made that Democratic
speeches were mailed under Republican
franks. A formal investigation took place,
and the senate committee on contingent ex-
penses. after grave and solemn investigation,
found that a number of thousands of speeches
of various senators were sent to a lady to be
folded and put in envelopes. She innocently
did her work promiscuously piled them all
into one heap, and then carefully counted out
the number for each. An attack of cholera
Is a feeble comparison, and it made as much
fuss as swapping a couple of thousand babies.

A Locomotive Gas Lighter.

The covered street at Milan, now well
known as the Victor Emmanuel gallery, is
rooted with glass and completed by a large
dome, round the interior Of which runs a
chain OF gas lamps. The lighting of these
lamps at a considerable elevation used to
present some difficulties, and was always a
source of risk, until an arrangement was
made for doing the work by electricity. A
miniature railway has been constructed close
to the gas burners, on which runs a little
electric locomotive carrying a wick stepped in
spirits of wine. When it is desired to light
the burners the wick is set on fire and the

round the dome, rapidly kindling the lights.

SlanlRh Private Postal Serylee.

The bankers n merchants of Barcelona
and Madrid propose to start a private postal
service, paying the government the postage
on the letters carried. The reason given for
this curious proposal is that robberies in the
Spanish postofhces are so frequent that it is
unsafe to transmit money through the post.
In short, it is stated that the Spanish post
Office is in a terrible state of di~sorganization,
and it is surprising that this state of things
should have been ignored by successive min
~istries, oil apparently solicitous to promote
the industrial needs of the country. The
civil departments of the Spanish administra-
ton, like the military departments, are over
burdened with employees receiving very small
salaries, and who are therefore not beyond
the reach of temptation.-Boston Transcript.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Julius Mordaunt Of the st. Nicholas
Saloon Badly Used On.


Two warrants were yesterday sworn out
before Judge Lippincott by Julius Nor
daunt against B. M. Thomas, one for q
debt Of $7.25, the other for assault and
battery. It was alleged that Thomas was
leaving the Territory and Sheriff Lloyd was
entrusted with their service. Thomas was
arrested on q description sent the Sheriff
OF Beaverhead county at Dillon and yester-
day evening Sheriff Lloyd left town to bring
him back.
MI. Mordaunt was seen by q MINER re-
preventative yesterday and presented a
shocking spectacle Of brutal treatment.
His left eye was cut over the eyebrow and
below the eye; his face was discolored
and pulled up and on the lower portion of
bis face were pieces of sticking plaster Gov
ering scratches. Asked about the affair,
Mr.. Mordaunt expressed some hesitation
in making the facts known, but finally gave
an explanation to the following effect:
Themas owed Mordaunt a small amount
at the bar, and on Monday Mordaunt saw
one OF Thomas trunks standing outside
and asked the express driver if Thomas
Was going away. Mordaunt went back to
Thomas o The door was wide open
and Thomas was packing his valises with
his stock, which is hardware and includes
pistols of which he had quite an assort-
ment with him. The porter was in there
assisting him. Mordaunt stepped into the
door and asked, "Thomas, are
yGG going S i r: aSsS t :Yes' Ju,;us rS
Mordaunt said: II wish you'd call in and
see me before you co." He turned and was
when he heard Thomas apply an
epithet to him. As he had not in.
truded into the room and was, as far as he |
knew. on perfectly good terms with him, he |
thunderstruck. He turned round and
asked Thomas what he said. The latter re-
piled Mordaunt knew well enough what he
said. Mordaunt then asked Did you mean
to call me a-----?" Thomas
with a repetition of the offensive
words. Mordaunt, who is a small man of
build, stepped up to him and calmly
like that?" In a second Thomas picked
up one of the revolvers lying in a
satchel and struck Mordaunt two
blows on the left eye that
sent him Keeling to the floor. He

poisoning may result. In the manufacture

The Secretary's report to the Board of
Trustees showed that the college has been
making large material progress in the last
year. The donations from various sources
since the last meeting of the Board, amount
to over $4,000, bringing the resources of
the college to the grand total of $4S6, 239.
The following were elected trustees to fill va
cancies caused by those whose term of office
expired last week : Ferdinand Schumacher,

Hosmer lectured on the Poetry of Bryant
before the college societies on Monday even
ing. He is man of ripe culture and pop

of Harvard some ten or a dozen years, but
then Buchtel believes in young men, and ia
willing to honor them while the dew of youth
is upon them.
We give this week an excellent synopsis
of Rev. DR.. Canfeld's address on "Man and
his Inventions" delivered Wednesday even

ELECTED unqualified admiration from all
quarters. 1t was big with thought, packed
full of historical and scientific Illustrations,
and polished and eloquent in diction. In all
respects it was remarkable address, and a
worthy prelude to the exercises of the great
commencement day.
Mr.. Buchtel told the students, some days
ago, that if they would get him up to the
chapel ON commencement day he would give
$1,000 to the gymnasium fund. The boys

THE MINISTER'S WIFE.

"And are we to expect nothing of a
minister's wife?" asked Miss Lane in a
very subdued voice.
Nothing more than her duty as a
woman. II she have qualities that will
give her leading social influence, and
have time to spare from her home duties,
which are always first, she ought to let
those qualities become active for good.
But no more can, with justice, be required
of her than Of any other woman in the
congregation. Your contract for service
is with her husband and not with her;
and you have no more just claim upon
her time, nor right to control her free
dom, than you have over the wife of your
lawyer, doctor or schoolmaster.
"It you think my services are abso-
lutely essential to the prosperity of the
church, just state the amount of salary
you can afford to give, and if, for the
sum, can procure person in every
way as competent as myself to assume
the charge of my children and household,
I will take into serious consideration
your proposition. Beyond this, ladies, 1
can promise nothing.
az could WISH" she continued in a
lower voice, "to number you all as my
friends. 1 have come to you only as
stranger, seeking no pre-eminence, but
desiring to do my duty as a woman.
The fact that my husband is your min
lister gives me Of right no position among
you, and gives you no right to demand of
me public services. If my husband
fails in his duty, admonish him; but in
the name of justice and humanity, do not
establish any supervision over me. Let
my private life be as sacred from intru-
sion as that of any other woman. This 1
have a right to demand, and will be sat
isfed with nothing less" - Woman's
Magazine.
